00:00Now let's get to the NFC.

00:05There's not all that much to figure out except maybe some seed lines and then a couple of

00:10divisional races that are jumbled messes at the moment.

00:14Detroit's still that top team in the NFC but Philadelphia is keeping pace and maybe not

00:19just Philly.

00:20The 10-win Vikings, the 9-3 Packers, it's Green Bay and Detroit on Thursday night but

00:27both teams get that full week off after playing on Thanksgiving.

00:31It's in the Motor City.

00:32It is going to be sensational.

00:34In terms of the wild card race, Joe, I would say in some form or fashion those three teams

00:39are in.

00:40For the Buccaneers, the Cardinals, and I would also throw in the even 6-6 LA Rams, it's all

00:46about trying to catch the team that is currently in the top spot in their divisions.

00:51The Seahawks, 7-5, the only team with a winning record in the NFC West.

00:56The Falcons also just an even 500, 6-6, and they have dropped three straight games.

01:02Atlanta's benefit right now is already a season sweep, winning both games against the Buccaneers

01:08so far this season.

01:09Yeah, well, the NFC West is a hot mess right now.

01:14I mean, yes, Seattle is 7-5, great, but you've got the Rams, and you mentioned it, Arizona

01:19sitting at 6-6.

01:21Even the 49ers, though, at five wins, not that far behind.

01:27Even New Orleans, Ben, it was, what, two games out of that six wins that Atlanta and Tampa

01:32have, even though Atlanta, I think, has got the tiebreaker there.

01:36There is so much still to be determined.

01:39Even with Minnesota at ten wins and Green Bay at nine, it's going to be a fight to the

01:44finish over the last month of the season here.

01:48I think the NFC, a lot more murkier than the AFC, however, I think those two teams up at

01:54the top are clearly in a different category than the number three seed, four seed, and

02:01everybody else on that list.

02:03I think the Lions and the Eagles are in a class all their own right now.
